Fur-Lined Future

Talk story about plasticized furs. Dr. Jose Calva, a Mexican scientist now living in Minneapolis, discovered aprocess which makes it possible to platicize fox, nutria, skunk, seal, mink, & sable. Plasticizing makes fur indestructible, Mr. Benja, in Harris Weiss, president of the Corporation, says that imitation furs are made of plastic applied in various consistencies & colors to a base of shorn sheepskin. All furs can thus be imitated; not only that, you can have a fur evening jacket in red or green. Right now the the outfit is concentrating its production facilities on jackets for fliers. Woolen toothbrush bristles, stiffened by the Calva process, are being made in quantity. Plastizized carpets are another possibility.
